Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 8 candidates for student government: Hal, Mary, Ann, Frank, Beth, John, Emily, and Tom.

The three candidates that receive the highest number of votes become candidates for a runoff election.

i.e. 3 persons out of 8 to be selected for becoming candidates for a runoff election.

Since order does not matter we use combinations here

3 persons out of 8 can be done in 8C3 ways

= 56

no of 3-candidate combinations  possible are 56

Which equations represent the line shown in the graph?
zaharov [31]
The given graph is a straight line passing through points (-4, -3) and (1, 5)
Equation in point slope form is y + 3 = (5 - (-3))/(1 - (-4)) (x - (-4))
y + 3 = 8/5(x + 4)
y + 3 = 8/5x + 32/5
y = 8/5x + 32/5 - 3
y = 8/5x + 17/5

Multiplying through by 5 gives
5y = 8x + 17
-8x + 5y = 17
Options B and C are the correct answers.
